The objective of this course is to provide students with the experience of sitting a test in examination conditions so they can practise their time management skills and learn to cope with assessment stress. Information from the test reports can be used to decide if a course focussing on an area of weakness is required.
STT Online Lesson Structure:
STT will open on Monday 4PM and close before the review, and students can attempt the tests between these times. Live review sessions will be on Zoom.
STT Face-to-Face Lesson Structure:
Students will do Maths & Reading and Thinking Skills & Writing tests ONLINE in the class on alternating weeks and teachers will do the review after the tests. Students are required to bring their devices (LAPTOP or TABLET) to do the test online. There are only a limited number of devices available at the centre.
Retry & Review features for Mathematical Reasoning and Thinking Skills tests. Students can retry the questions that they answered incorrectly unlimited times in student exam portal for 30 days.
